After photobucket finally caught up and noticed I used third party linking, I'm posting the pictures again.

All the minis and the ship are from Firelock games. Some of the terrain is from my other projects, but the buildings and the mousepad mat are just for this project, althought the might get used in some other games too 😀.
There is still a lot more to paint.
Kiitos ja moi!

Very, very nice indeed. ;D
-
Great job on those! Or as we say..hyvältä näyttää :D
-
Some very handsome and interesting looking figures amongst that lot. One or two of the poses look a tiny bit squiffy to me, but overall, they're a very good looking crew indeed 8)
-
Awsome! :o And the puffs of smoke!
-
Yeah, love the puffs of smoke. Nice job on those figures in general, though.

Great stuff! Your table is very inspiring- I have to build something similar for a Pulp Alley game.
-
Thanks for the compliments!
Here is another picture of the table.

Fantastic work. The filthy pants and coats are perfect. Your ship and table top look great. Then your captain...I am lost for words except...WOW!!!
Thanks for sharing and happy gaming.

Great job these!

I was totally unaware of this range's existence : the figures look good but it's the ships that may have the greatest potential. The sloop looks like it could be used right up to the Napoleonic wars and with a length of about ten inches, it's a very manageable model that can easily find its way onto the table without cluttering it too much.
-
Some of those figures would be ideal as recruits/militia for my 1690 project.
-
Very cool table and great job on the figures!
-
I like the choice of colours used on the ship. Very nice indeed!

In the high tides of the new kickstarter I managed to get some more miniatures painted. There is still a loads more to paint...

Very nice minis and scenery! I like very much your painting style, specially the weathering on the timbers, top notch! :-*
Thank you very much for sharing!
-
The terrain pieces that you have added are really great too. What company makes them?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the compliments gents. The timber and foods stuffs are from Ristuls. https://www.ristulsmarket.com/
The tables were scratch build.
I managed to play my first game of Blood & Plunder with my son. We used 100 point forces. My Spanish militia units are not ready yet, so I used some Pike & Shotte musketeers as stand-ins. Also The Spanish commander is still on the painting table so I used suitably coloured samurai instead.
The game went quite smoothly for a first game with occasional reading of the rulebook. My ten year old pulled out a victory with the Brethen of the Coast. That was some deadly musketry.
A few pictures from the game:

The matching d10 dice and the d6 for marking stuff is a clever idea! ;)
-
Everything looks great! Where is the mat from, please?
-
Thanks.
The mat is from Deep cut studios. http://www.deepcutstudio.com/product/wargames-terrain-mat-beach/
-
Great looking game! Escpeiclaly love all the animal :)
-
Love your whole setup.
Lots of war gaming goodness there.
-
Beautiful game setup on one of the most realistic mats I've seen! :-*

A few pictures from the second game.
This time my mostly French Brethen of the coast were raided by my gaming buddy with his English Buccaneers.
It was as mall 100 points/side battle as were still learning the rules.
The game itself was extremely bloody. I ended up losing 15 brethen of my 18 strong force.

Phew!
Finally I got the pictures working again.
I was not a good idea to try to share them with google drive.
You'll live, You'll learn.

Just managed to finish these for tomorrows game. It’ll be a 150 point games with my French against my friends evil Englishmen.

The more I paint these miniatures the more I like to paint them. They are really easy to paint and good results can be achieved with quite small effort. It took me three days to paint the lot.
Kiitos ja moi!

They certainly look very snappy! Enjoy the game,
-Michael
-
Love the mat! I'm assuming that is the 4x4 deep cut studio mat, correct? You've about convinced me to buy one based on your pictures alone.
-
Yeah, that really is an impressive mat. I am very tempted...
-Michael

Greetings, Samu!
Love your figures both here and on the Firelock website.
The mat looks cool, but I am even enjoying the flora. The weedy looking mid-sized plants are very useful. Where did you get them and the trees?
Thanks.
-
Thanks Hunter. I'm glad You like my models.
All of the green thingies are from ebay. There are loads of diffdrent stuff to choose from.
I'm still looking for some tall grass.
-
Olofeus, is that a 4x4 mat or a 4x6 mat? Trying to decide what size to buy!
-
That is a 4x4 mat. I have got a matching grass and sea mat to go with the beach

Excellent. That's my plan as well. Thanks!

Great stuff :)

Well the Kickstarter is over, but it gave me a boost to get the rest of my Spaniards (among a few other things) painted.

With these guys ready I've got only few Freebooters, Filibuistiers, Boucaniers and two ships to paint. I think I can manage these before my next pledge arrives.
I have to admit that at first the 3d sculpted miniatures didn't really appeal to my tastes, but after painting a few, I have to confess that I really like painting them. And they look quite nice painted, don't they.
Kiitos ja moi!
Samu
-
Some very character figures there with great brushwork ;D
-
They are excellent sculpts! :-*
And your paintjob has given them life!
Congratulations! Especially for the eyes, cloth shading, gilded parts... What else to say?
I wish you have many enjoyable games with them!
Keep them coming!
-
Well painted. Love your figures and setup.
I have a ton of Foundry pirates, but I like the look of the Firelock guys.
So have picked some up.
They are larger and don't plan to use them mixed in the same units.
But on the table they will be fine.
Their ships are excellent and am painting the sloop, love it.
-
Thanks for the kind words.
I think I'm in a painting spree (That's what the holidays are for!)
I painted this Brigandine yesterday. I know I should have paid more attention to the wooden parts an details. I've still got difficulties in painting large areas. The only way I know to do those is drybrushing. Nevertheless I'm quite pleased how it turned out.
Also it was much easier to do the rigging to this ship than my first one. This time I made the sails beforehand and used 0.5mm wire in the folds, so the sails would keep in shape. So I only needed to sow these sails to their places this morning.

That's a beautiful brig - nice work.
I stiffened the sails on my sloop with watered down pva.

This works!
Lovely brigantine! Eager to see it engaged in a naval battle!
Keep them coming!

Excellent job on the new ship.
I am working on the sloop.
Hope to have it done in a few days
so I will post photos.
